No video, but good audio, in Live Viewer, readynas surveillance Toolkit.
hello
I still use readynas surveillance with my 524x and 4x4tb disks. I have 11 cameras and the toolkit has been working fine on my windows10 rig. I still think it is a very good program.
I recently bought a better pc. intel i9, rtx 3080, M.2 samsung 980. etc. It runs with windows 11.
I have been wanting to upgrade to w11 for some time.
Now, of course, the surveillance toolkit dont work.
Therefore i have installed a virtualbox with windows 7. I have installed the plugin for IE. i have isntalled C++ and Java.
In Live viewer i get good audio but no video? anyone now why?
And the Playback system starts but i get a red square that says fault and it wont work.
Has anyone managed to run readynas Surveillance Toolkit on a Windows 11 rig?
Best regards to you all.

Hello
I can answer my own question.
I started a windows 10 virtual mashine instead of windows 7.
Installed Java and C++
The toolkit works fine on this virtual mashine. I can use live viewer and playback system with no problems.
All this under windows 11
Thanks for your time
